I, too, read and write yaoi fanfiction. I also like to experiment with odd/crack pairings. I blame my mind for taking me to weird places when writing ^^;
 
Also, one time, I left one of my VK CDs out in the living room, and my parents saw it, thinking that the people on the album cover were all girls even though they were missing the obvious physical feature of a female. The beauty of visual kei xD (Btw, it was an album by Screw titled 'Screw'.)

Some minor guys I'm familiar with because they're either covered on this forum or they still have stuff from their previous band on their social media (ex. they don't straight up start anew every time they form a new band, etc.) Other than that, I hate it when I have to dig thru the Twitter rabbit hole of mutual followers just to find what other bands this person may have been in, it's very time consuming and especially stressful when people point out I'm wrong cuz I'm not familiar with this particular person...

Plus, when they do fanservice I feel even less guilty about it. It's less cringey than shipping yourself with them tbh.

Know that feel, I'm 151cm/4'11.5". And yes, I have finished growing. When I was fifteen. But I like short guys too, so 🤷‍♀️
 
I bought a new UNiTE pouch from someone on the MH Market (thanks again, you know who you are ) and it has a little cheki pocket on the back. I put a cheki of LiN in it but whenever I use that pouch, I hide it from my family because I don't want them to see the weirdos I'm attracted to.

Indeed, the mind/heart is the most important battleground.

For bass players, I enjoy listening to Rame from Vidoll/BGFN and Jasmine from Versailles (RIP). Both bring out great music and sick beats. Also, liked Yuuto's catchy bass playing (Screw, Liraizo).

Trying very hard to actually finish reading Osamu Dazai's "No Longer Human", because I realized that I started to understand it better than I used to in uni. Though, I think the reason I had treated so lightly back then was because I had to study it and not actually enjoy it. But, the sad part is that I don't have as much time to analyse and devour books like I had back then :(. 

hi☆
 

Those ViViD and GazettE songs are really bringing me back to better times lol. That whole list is quality tho.
 
D'espairsRay - Ark In The Storm B.A.P - WAKE ME UP BUCK-TICK - RAZZLE DAZZLE FRAGILE Countlost - FOLLOW BUCK-TICK - 悪の華 DAY6 - 버릇이 됐어 EAT YOU ALIVE - Agnus Dei BRADIO - Ride On Time feat.谷川正憲 (from UNCHAIN) 未来電波基地 - 季節の余韻 TWICE - TT It's hard to beat B-T, but I love me some BRADIO. They still just put me in the best mood when their songs start. And Masanori Tanigawa's guest vocal sends me ✈️!!!

Awesome playlist! Haven't listened to that song of Matenrou Opera's yet - I'll have to definitely check it out
 
SCREW - ANCIENT RAIN
Kagrra, - Utakata
Wagakki-Band - Ikusa
Royz - SIGN
SINCREA - Sakura Mai Chiru Kisetsu ni Kimi ga Yume Mita Koto
Vidoll - High-rise-buildings
Diaura - Shitsuyoku no Seiiki
the Thirteen - シンデレラ
ViViD - Across the Border
the GazettE - Calm Envy
 
Hard to narrow down from so many great songs! I'll have to pick Kagrra,'s beautiful song, Utakata. The lyrics are bittersweet/sad and are complemented by the beautiful instrumentals and Isshi's soothing voice.
 

They will release their first (live-limited) single titled, 『メモリア』(Memory), starting on April 2019.

THIS
But it's not just men. It's women, too. It's everybody.
 
Most people simply do what they were taught to do, whether they learned directly or indirectly. And I'm not talking about academics - I'm referring to how we're being taught to live in general.
 
When you look at society as a whole, particularly western society - it's clear that what we're doing isn't working...that what we've been learning (and subsequently acting out) isn't good enough. We live in a society that perpetuates, encourages, and even rewards dysfunction. So is it any wonder that we're all depressed, anxious, and stressed out of our minds? These are things WE'RE ALL affected by.
 
This also raises the question: What and how are we being taught? Do we even have the tools to better educate ourselves? If so, what are they?
 
....
 
Ya know, I've gotten shit for saying negative things about feminism before, as people are quick to assume that anti-feminism = anti-woman or anti female-empowerment, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous. But I'm of the opinion that all of these different social movements can go...be it feminism, men's rights activism, red pill, MGTOW, black lives matter...whatever the fuck. They all appear to be well-meaning movements on the outside, but as they say, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" - and ultimately, these movements seem more like dysfunctional solutions to a misdiagnosed problem. It's like trying to cure a cancer patient with cyanide. Meanwhile,  they actually have AIDS . Sure, your *intentions* may be to cure the patient (which is great), but your actions are just introducing more toxic elements to an already deteriorating structure - the cause of which has not been fully explored. So from what I can tell, the real problem seems to be much deeper...and it transcends both men and women, black and white, rich and poor, etc.
 
Whatever it is, it effects society as a whole. And society isn't some nebulous thing. It does exist outside of us, yet we all make up society individually as well. So if men are lost (and we definitely are), would that not also imply that the whole is lost as well? So all I'm saying is that perhaps we should endeavor to take a more balanced and holistic approach to viewing and scrutinizing these important social issues, instead of blindly entertaining all of these divisive ideologies that constantly pit one group of people against the next. Meanwhile, the whole suffers. How is society going to get anywhere if the right leg is constantly at war with the left? The body needs both of them to walk properly.
 
And so I'm glad that @Zeus brought that point out, because it offers an additional perspective (without demonizing other perspectives) and shows that there's often more going on beneath the surface than we might be willing to explore. These are complicated issues.
